Interesting talk of the opening Test next summer being a D/N against India , where then does the Afghanistan Test fit in (before at Perth or after the SCG Tests).
From what I have read the crowds and facilities the Gabba might be lucky to even host a Test.
@KLo30 how is the weather in Cairns at this time of year to host Afghanistan (or Darwin , Canberra , Hobart)

So basically it looks like Bancroft will be the fly-in concussion sub from Perth if required.
Is it just me, or is it all very well to say that you’ve got 36 hours to bring in a concussion substitute, but if the team gets bowled out while Bancroft is en route back from Perth, it’s not going to do us much good?!

Exactly what I was thinking, but given you need like for like , you might need a whole new team on standby.
Obviously I am not a medical expert , but it could take 12-24 hours for the symptoms to appear , I think Smith was originally cleared to resume batting , then the next morning was tested again and failed.
Bangladesh recently had 2 concussion substitutes , 1 was a bowler that couldn't bowl as he replaced a batsmen , then another 2 guys were hit as well.
ICC might need to re-think this one and teams as well how they approach it.
eg Head is concussed , Bancroft is on 5 no but has to leave the game , does WA then get a replacement batsmen who can bat ?

Exactly - and I think the protocol has only been in place since August!
This will definitely come to a head (no pun intended) at some point, only a matter of time.
I like that they seem to have considered the possibility of a tactical concussion substitute, but I think they could simply allow any substitute by default, with umpires rejecting any that they deem to be tactical, unfair etc.
